The food was excellent, but our meal was considerably spoilt by a group rearranging tables, making a lot of noise next to us. The 4 children we using iPads and phones which were so loud it meant we ha... See more

Waited over 50 minutes for a take away pizza Notting Hill branch, also a side salad that looked like it was left over from the street.
Asked for money back in the salad, pizza just ok.
I am in the wrong business!
Not original sourdough anymore but thick dough
Franco manca used to have the best sourdough pizzas. For many years it has been my family's favourite pizza place. Sourdough is much healthier for you than a thick dough
Whatever happened to the original Italian pizza place that in the last 2 years pizza have gone thicker and the staff are definitely less skilled in making pizzas. I have a feeling it is because hardly any Italians work in Franco Manca nowadays. People from an Indian subcontinent are good in dhaal, curries, naans etc but this talent does not transfer to making pizza as nature intended.
I am a big fan of Indian food and love going to Indian restaurants but when I fancy pizza I would like it to taste as an old fashioned sourdough pizza and not some funky thick dough mix.
Cheltenham branch poor service
Cheltenham branch. Always had a good experience on previous occasions but our visit on Saturday lunchtime has spoilt it for us. Initially told us they couldn't accommodate us but the restaurant was mostly empty. Told us we could sit outside which we did. We then watched as some walk-ins were sat down whilst others were turned away. It was completely random. Anyway our service was poor - they kept forgetting we were there. Not sure we'll be back.

Maria from the Marylebone store has been great, both very professional and very kind. Would definetely come again
Appalling collection order - Muswell Hill
Collection order, wasn't ready, made to stand and wait for half an hour while they handed over orders to delivery drivers. After being told to wait "two minutes" over and over again, they finally appeared with our 5 pizzas and 3 salads. Got home and the pizzas were inedible - half cooked and cold. The base looks and tased like soggy cardboard. Disgusting food and disinterested, lazy staff.
Dissapointing pizza.
Really disappointed with the pizza I ordered. It was not well cooked, the dough was soggy, hardly any topping and it turned up all squashed up. I will not be buying from here again.
Ordered i pizza and came like a junk
Ordered i pizza and came like a junk !
Looks like someone sit on my pizza everything is splashed on the middle of the pizza . The worst looking pizza I have ever seen ! Horror!
Cheltenham Branch - Excellent
We ate at the Cheltenham branch and had great pizza’s with very tasty ingredients and nice thin bases. The no label lager was also good. We were served by Kyle who was very friendly and knowledgeable and the pizza’s were cooked by Wagnar. Would definitely come here again.
Very poor customer service!
Very poor customer service!! Very rude! we were told to get a takeaway instead of accomodating us a table.

Felt ripped off with 12.5% add optional charge, too loud people, poor food.
Never again! Worst pizza to date
Tried the Salami & Nduja Pizza.. never again.
“Quality ingredients” - tasted cheap and nasty. Had much better from the local pizza shop.. and thats saying something!
Waste of money.. price is too high for cheap, bad tasting rubbish
Great experience in the Plymouth…
Great experience in the Plymouth Restaurant. Welcomed enthusiasticly by Kielan, made to feel welcome from the start.
Served by Josh who was attentive, helpful and friendly throughout, and compliments to the chef on a mighty fine Pizza and Charcuterie Board.
All in all a great meal, and somewhere we will look forward to visiting again, and would recommend to friends and family, and anyone reading this.
Thanks Kielan and team for a lovely meal.
Awful pizzas zero flavour but that…
Awful pizzas zero flavour but that could also be down to the near zero toppings. Will never buy another, at £6 each......steep anyhow. Quattro formaggie and halloumi & hot honey.
"Narrow people should sit this side"
"Narrow people should sit this side"
Walking in, waiting to be seated, I believe by the manager, who showed us to a table and said "I suggest narrow people should sit this side....." well wouldn't want to know what the food was like, we left sharpish! Absolutely awful customer experience, always wanted to try Franca Manca too - won't be returning!
Fantastic pizza, great vibes, and friendly staff!
I had a great experience at Franco Manca in Kentish Town. The sourdough pizza was absolutely delicious — light, fresh, and full of flavor. The service was quick, and the staff were really friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is relaxed but lively, perfect for a casual dinner or pre-gig meal if you're heading to the O2 Forum nearby.
Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. I’ll definitely be coming back — highly recommend!
Exceptional quality of product
Exceptional quality of product - the sourdough pizza was remarkable; quality of service, atmosphere. I make sure to eat at Franco Manca each time I visit Cambridge. Highly recommended! A cappuccino rounded out the meal.

Delicious food
Delicious food, quick service and friendly staff. I recommend the pizzas!!
WHY?
Bad experience in Greenwich. We went to the pizzeria to sit down about an hour before closing and despite the long time available plus most of the empty room, we were greeted with a we will close in an hour, at most I can seat you at two separate tables (7 people). I intervened saying, you have many tables available, it makes no sense to seat us separately and in any case it is an hour before closing not 10 minutes... The waitress was visibly annoyed. I am not writing the review to condemn or express malice, simply to improve the worker/customer relationship, simply because with a little common sense we would have achieved more for everyone and I guarantee that we would have even left the pizzeria before closing, that happened to the competitor on next door. A restaurant or in any case a pizzeria should have more flexibility in the approach and management of certain very simple situations.
